Bullet Proof Shield for your Backpack

After the recent mass shooting in America, an inventor has developed an armoured shield that could easily fit in a student’s backpack and can stop bullets from 16 feet away.

The inventors name is Kerry Clark, and his company is called Backpack Shield.  The shields will fit in a standard 12 inch or 16 inch bag and protect against more than 30 bullets at a time.

US Air Marshalls are report to now be carrying these shields on planes as an added layer of protection. 

At $235 (USD), the shield is not cheap, but if it could save your life, worth the investment.
